Description
Golden, melty, and outrageously satisfying—this pull-apart bread is the kind of appetizer that steals the spotlight. A crusty loaf is sliced and stuffed with gooey cheese, buttery herbs, and baked until every bite is warm and irresistible. Perfect for sharing… though you might not want to.
Ingredients
1 round or oval crusty bread loaf (sourdough works great)
2 cups shredded mozzarella (or mix with cheddar for extra flavor)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Using a serrated knife, slice the bread into a crosshatch pattern, making sure not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.
Gently stuff shredded cheese between the bread cuts, then drizzle butter mixture evenly over the loaf.
Wrap bread loosely in foil and bake 15 minutes. Unwrap and bake another 5–10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and edges are golden.
Serve hot and pull apart to enjoy.
